Sports News 'WITH SUNDAY MORKING EDITION The Foen WASHINGTON, b. C, PRI DAY, DECEMBER 20, :S’_czool Heads Outlaw Late Grid Games : LONG POST-SEASON TOURS ARE BANNED Public High Leaders Hold Foot Ball Should End on Thanksgiving Day. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, Jr. OOT BALL GAMES entailing long_trips, and arranged after regular schedules have been completed, have been outlawed X so0 far as the District public high school elevens are concerned, it was learned today. Prom high authority came the in- formation that the principals have reached a point where they no longer are willing to be called upon to decide whether foot ball teams shall be given permission to take these long post- season jaunts. Thus, should Tech, which has been traveling far afield for intersectional games the past two years. or any other eleven desire to make such a trip in the future it must be arranged for when the regular schedule is made up. pn was agreed that contests scheduled after a school had played its first game of the season would be regarded as additions to the schedule and it was the opinion of the principals that Thanksglving day was the logical end of the foot ball season. The new ruling also applies to base ball, but not to swimming, basket ball and track. As to the latter three sports it is realized that teams frequently must go some distance to get competition, especially in swimming and track. The basket ball tournaments at Penn and other institutions are held only at the end of the season and the princi- pals have been represented as feeling that the schools should not be denied the privilege of taking part in these affairs. Though the schedule has not been completed, enough games already have been arranged to assure the Devitt foot ball eleven a fine schedule for next Fall. the matches so listed are with the Pennsburg, Pa. High eleven at Pennsburg, and with Hun School at Princeton, N_ J. 1t is expected that Central will again be listed. Mercersburg and Newport News High will not be scheduled again. All athletic activities at Devitt now are over, but after the holidays there will be plenty doing in basket ball, track, swimming and wrestling. An’ important meeting of the Devitt ‘board of governors is to be held during the holidays, when it will be decided whether the outdoor track meet, con- ducted the past two years by the school will be continued and other athletic matters concerning the school given consideration. Track followers hereabout are hope- ful that the decision will be to continue the meet. The affair drew a host of crack athletes and did much to brighten the scholastic track season this section. Newport News High is planning a Basket ball trip to this section the latter part of February and. probably will meet the Devitt five among other teams. A basket ball double-header has been arranged in the Eastern High gym to- night as a feature of the annual alumni program at the Lincoln Park school, Eastern and Central lightweight quints will clash at 7:15 o'clock and immediately thereafter the Eastern regulars will engage Emerson. The Light Blue and White recently conquer- ed Emerson and the latter will be ou for revenge. Gonzaga originally was scheduled to meet Eastern in the alumni game, but asked to be excused from the e ment because members of the Purple team wish to attend a function also to be held tonight. Both Emerson and Eastern also were listed to play this afternoon, the former against Western in the Western gym and the latter against Episcopal High i a practice game on the Eastern floor. In other games today in which school- boy quints of the District five were to figure Hyattsville High and Tech were towclash on the Tech floor, Landon and Georgetown Prep at Garrett Park, Cen- tral and Gettysburg High at Gettysburg and Strayer and Baltimore Strayer at Baltimore. ARMY’S TRAIN LATE ON TRIP TO COAST By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 20.—Army's foot ball squad today was on its way toward California’s balmy Winter weather—but still behind schedule. Its special train three hours late in Chicago, the Army Corps failed to stop at Galesburg, Ill, when it finally re- sumed its march on Stanford University, and was cheated out of one of its stop- off workouts. The fallure to stop at Galesburg also disappointed townspeo- ple and Knox College students who had prepared a huge greeting for the Army squad. Coach Biff Jones hoped to be able to sidetrack the train for a while to- day at Syracuse, Kans, while he sent the men through a signal drill. A-waw made at South Bend, Ind., late yesterday, but not for the urpose of taking practice. The cadets istened to cheers and wishes of good luck in its game on the coast from its important rival and 1929 conqueror —Notre Dame. The players were train- tired, following the slow journey from the East, but were looking forward to weather into which they could venture forth comfortably. MIDWEST GATHERS STRONG GRID TEAM By the Assoctated Press. DALLAS, Tex., December 20.—One of the best balanced foot ball machines ever to trot onto 'a gridiron in Dallas will appear New Year day at Ownby Stadium, the home of the Southern Methodist University Mustangs, wearing the silks of the Middle West Stars against the Southwestern All-Stars in the second annual Dixie classic.

Ohio's gain is Mich- igan's and New York's loss, and two native sons are to be united in the outfield of a team that aiready boasts of Ever Swansbn, one of the iest rookies ever to come up to big show from the Pacific it 1 must admit that there was a slight raising of the eyebrows when it was announced that the two famous veterans had gotten by the American League waiver lines with- out being claimed by such teams as the Red Sox. Senators and White Sox. They have plenty of good base ball left in them, and may sur- prise the gentlemen who let them get away. Also, perhaps the Browns will be very sorry that they let Dan Howley, “The Miracle Man" of 1928, g0 to the older league. Meusel is 31 and has had 10 years in the Amer. ican League, during which time he has only thrice failed to bat .300 or better. Heillmann is 35, and has been with Detroit for 15 years, dur- ing the last 11 of which he batted more than .300. Remember Ed Delehanty? He led Metropolitan Newspaper Service the National League in batting in 1899, and three years later topped all the hitters in the younger cir- cuit. Maybe Hairbreadth Harry Heilmann will repeat that stunt. The big San Franciscan has won the American championship four times, always in an “odd” year (i, e. 1921, '23, '25 and '27, and when he didn't win in 1929 it was odd, too!). He hit the exclusive .400 circle in 1923. If you look back at the records of men like Delehanty, Sam Crawford and Cy Young you will se that it is possible to do well in both leagues, and for a long time after the change, too. Yes, indeed! Bob and Harry may be a big help to Dan and his Reds for several seasons. Central Quint Displays Power In Taking Measure of Emerson HAT the Central basket ball team | ., has power there is no question. W So far as wins and losses are concerned the record of the Blue and White for the season may not be so impressive, but it has a squad of youngsters who are capable of making the best of 'em battle. Central yesterday played good, heads- up basket ball to take the Emerson quint to camp, 33 to 21. With Russell Lampson, rugged guard, heading their attack, the Columbia Heights scholas- tics came from behind in impressive style to triumph. At the intermission Emerson was ahead, 11 to 5, but in the second half Central woke up with a bang and spurt- ed, overcoming the foe and then going on to gain a nice lead and victory. Collaborating with Lampson in drop- ping ‘em in for Central was Wilbur Cross, forward, who registered nine ints, while Woodward Rice and Par- ins, the other members of the winning combination, which played throughout, also broke into the scoring column. Jack Forney, lanky center, was the big_shot 1 3 b or Emerson, coming through two from the foul line. George Washin OLLEGE basketers tonight make their final fing on home floors before the mid-term holidays. ‘With the exception of George- town University’s team, which is to make a Northern trip right after Christ; varsity cagers of the Wash- ington area following tonight’s activity will have nothing to do until next year arrives. Two games are on the card tonight. At the George Washington University court the Colonials will be hosts to the five of Baltimore University and at Kendall Green the Gallaudet t};murs will entertain a combination of Arnold Col- lege. Both games are slated to get under way at 8 o'clock. Coach Joe Mitchell plans to send a new line-up against the Baltimore team, as he wants to test thoroughly all the material he has at hand. The Colonials have played but one game and, while they were victors in that, only a few of the squad got into action and some glaring faults in play were noted. In Baltimore U. the locals tonight will face & sturdy combination, one that will take a deal of beating. In meeting Arnold, Gallaudet will go after its second successive triumph. The Kendall Greeners overcame the Ben Franklin tossers last Saturday and showed considerable strength.

Shear won many South Atlantic swimming titles and is nationally fa- mous in water sport. He has a squad of 25, including many swimmers, at work.

L tory over Carnegie Tech, the Trojans of the University of Southern California today are ready to climb into their grid armor, prepared to face the foot ball practice grind in anticipation of their Tournament of Roses struggle with the Panthers of Pittsburgh. Coach Howard Jones has mapped out an intensive drill on pigskin fundamen- tals, defense against the great driving attack of the Eastern aggregation, and basic principles of his own offensive tactics. ‘The program calls for intensive prac- tice until Christmas, when the men of Troy will take up their abode in Pasa- dena, using the Rose Bowl, scene of the impending East-West struggle, as their stamping ground for the remainder of the training schedule. Coach Jones is expected to give much attention to the center of his line in hopes of bolstering it against the on- slaught of Coach “Jock” Sutherland’s All-America _backfleld aces, Octavius Uansa and Tom Parkinson. That the two aggregations will play to a packed stadium of 70,000 fans was assured with announcement by Arnold Eddy, graduate manager of University of Southern California, that all of the tickets for the classic were sold before a public sale could be instituted, and many applications returned.

ATLANTA, Ga., December 20.—Two mythical “all - conference” elevens clothed in the matter-of-fact trappings of the gridiron and present in the flesh will clash on Grant Field New Year day. This is revealed in the announce- ment of the list of acceptances of invi- tations to play here on the Northern and the Southern division teams given out by Robert Gregg, Shrine committee- an. man. Only three places remain to be filled in the list of 50 from both sections, Gregg said, and these will be deter- mined at once. From the 47 names already on the entry list it is certain that the greatest foot ball players in the South will clash at the historic Flats for the crippled children’s hos- pital fund. Julie Radice, Maryland fullback, is among the players, but Al Heagy, Old Line end, was unable to accept. The Southern division team, selected from_the conference squads in Geor- gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, needs one more center. The Northern squad, representing the States of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Ten- nessee, needs a tackle and an end. Players previously nominated on a coacHes’ consensus were unable to ac- cept due to basket ball training or classwork. Substitutes will be named by W. D. Punkhouser, secretary of the conference, from Lexington, Ky. The make-up of the team according to formal acceptances show that the roster of the squads will be: Northern Squad. Centers—Grow, V. M.

HICAGO, December 20.—The ‘Western Conference is looking to Indiana to maintain the vic- torious pace set by Big Nine basket ball teams in early sea- son games, when if tackles the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania Saturday night at Philadelphia, In last night's, games, conference teams scored a slam agamnst outside opponents, Northwestern, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois all emerging vic- torious from their tests. The Northwestern triumph over Notre Dame by 30-to-28 score was the out- standing achievement of the program. With Rus Bergherm and Capt. Rut Wal- ter shooting sensationally, the Wildcats took a bitterly fought overtime contest from the Ramblers. The score was tied four times during the game, and North- western pulled up a 27-all score, on Bert Riel's goal in the closing seconds of the regular time. Michigan, with five regulars watching throughout the contest, swamped Albion College, 51 to 9, at Ann Arbor.

UGENE, Oreg., December 20.— University of Oregon today was in the market for a new foot ball coach, and Capt. John J. McEwan, for four years gridiron mentor here and former coach at West Point, was out of & job. The uoux‘:'ten&;lm-m ‘here, which for several unsettled state, was brought to an ab- rupt, though not unex| climax last night, when the executive council, gove: g body of university student affairs, asked for McEwan's resignation and announced that a new coach would be at the helm next year and that ne- gotiations for a salary settlement would be opened immediately with McEwan. Rumors of the severance of 's connections have been -prevalent for more than a week. McEwan last month announced his resignation, which —university officials said they never recelved . It was to have become effective with the :xpls;;;.lon of his contract on January Jack W. Benefiel, graduate manager, announced he would start canvi g the coaching fleld at once “in the of getting best man available.” McEwan, in his four years as head coach here, brought an obscure team to the front ranks, t this season for the Pacific Coast Conference cham- plonship.

EW YORK, December 20—So that the record of spectacular incidents in foot ball games, in which men not participating in contests figured prominently, be complete, let the story of Arthur Pt:: and Lou Palmer of Princeton be told. It will perhaps be recalled that in the past season a University of Wash~ ington substitute left his seat on the bench and tackled the back of a rival team, who was running loose with the ball on his way to a touchdown. Delving into history at the time, the writer recalled an analagous incident in which a Navy substitute, in 1918, ran upon the fleld and tackled a wild-run- ning Great Lakes Naval Training Sta- tion back, who also was on his way to a touchdown. In both cases the inter- rupted score was allowed. In the hurly burly of the recent sea son a veteran foot ball enthusiast, 8 Co- lumbia man, sent the writer the of still another incident of a similar sort, making thus three in all. It was in 1899 and Columbia_ was playing Princeton at Manhattan Field, that great center of intercollegiate spor{ in the golden 90s, which now lies bas-« ren and forlorn on the south side of the Polo Grounds here. Stayed on Enemy’s Side. Lou Palmer, the famous Princeton end, companion wingman to the still more famous Arthur Poe, had Te~ moved from the game. Instead of tak- ing his place on the Princeton bench Palmer sat down upon the sideline on the Columbia side of the field. Affairs were more loosely conducted in those days and this was permissible—and still may be today. At any rate, Columbia punted at one juncture. Charlie Neidlinger, uncle of Newell Neidlinger and Pudge Neidlin- ger, Yale and Dartmouth heroes, respec- tively, in recent years, was a Columbian end. As he came down the field Poe attempted to check him. Neidlinger stiff-armed the little Princetonian and sent him flying. Palmer, out of the game, seated on the Columbia side of the field, at once leaped into the grid- iron and tripped Neidlinger, who went to earth, permitting the Princeton' punt catcher to make a long run. Referee Didn't See It. Foster Sanford, the Columbia coach, always a man of action, rushed out upon the fleld, grabbling Palmer, holding him him in the air, and demanded of Paul Dashiell, the referee, that the ball be to Columbia at the spot where ceton had received it. Dashiell mlntnh‘:ueg h‘; had not seen t.he‘y mfie" and co no penalty. m-nafimanmud forth, while Palmer, meantime, held in Sanford’s big arms, was purposes. After much urging Sanford released Palmer, who scampered to the Princeton side of the field, mighty glad to be free. ‘The game went on and Princeton re- ceived no penalty.
